Back-to-Back Wins: Chalamet Leads Our 5 Ads of the Week

With Dylan Efron's abs, ginormous bubbles, lots of dogs and a wind-blown tango

The Champ: Timothée Chalamet Plays the Carol of the Balls
Tim follows last week’s Wheaties triumph with another Ad of the Week performance as his character from the upcoming table-tennis flick Marty Supreme. Here, he takes on Metta World Peace to plug the film and ESPN’s NBA Xmas Day coverage. Hear the balls ring: Ping-Pong! Ping-Pong!

And in no particular order…

Dylan Efron Stars as a Swole Santa for Yahoo Mail
Just call him the Yahoo Male. Or not. Anyway, Efron dons Kringle threads and does reps with candy canes at the North Swole. There’s an Ab-vent calendar, too. Props for heating up the season, BBDO.

Scripted Drama: Canal+ Stages a Stormy Tango
That’s real paper zipping around in BETC Paris’ very breezy promo. Can a determined couple dance through a hurricane of movie and TV script pages? It’s a wind-driven metaphor—sleek, gritty stuff from director Pierre Dupaquier.

Toyota Puts On the Dog in a Big Way for HiLux
No cats allowed! But lots of doggos ditch their owners’ puny SUVs to share the cargo bed of a HiLux pickup. Great use of CCR’s driving track “Up Around the Bend.” The visuals don’t exactly look real, but they’re so darn adorbs. From Saatchi & Saatchi Australia.

Center Parcs Shows Vacationers Floating in Giant Bubbles
An oddly hypnotic travel message from the U.K. holiday village chain and Neverland. It’s a tad creepy, but that works in its favor.
